I had to look up online how to change my thermostat from fahrenheit to celsius. It's a convoluted code - kind of like getting extra lives in a Nintendo game.

We have a weird and confusing hybrid of metric and imperial in Canada. I understand cups but I have no idea what an ounce is - grams are what make sense.
I did some Youtubing while figuring out a DIY project and it turns out that contractors in the rest of the world use millimetres instead of inches. If you mention metric to a contractor here they look at you like you had two heads. It honestly seems so much easier.
